"And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh." Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These two newfies are building a house. One of them is putting on the siding. He picks up a nail, hammers it in. Picks up another nail, throws it away. Picks up a nail, hammers it in. Picks up another, throws it away. This goes on for a while, and finally his friend comes over and asks him why he is throwing half of the nails away.

He replies, "Those ones were pointed on the wrong end." The buddy gets exasperated and says "You idiot, those nails are for the other side of the house!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning everyboomie. ￼

Are y'all ready for a new week? ￼

The best way to get into it is to hold your nose, and count to three and then plunge right in. ￼

Ah........go ahead and make that a count to five, close your eyes, and then dive in. ￼

You know what? It's gonna be ok, I promise. Just count to 20, put a toe in and test the water, and then slide into it real easy like. ￼

Wait! Let's think about this. We might not want to recklessly rush into it. It IS a Monday after all, so have a seat, put your head back, close your eyes, and your mouth too please, meditate to the song "Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine", have a latte and a bagel, read the morning paper, serf the net a while, and then count to 10 and go back to bed.

We'll pick it up there again tomorrow. ￼

Since tomorrow is Tuesday there's no need to rush it then either, so we'll just meet back here at....oh about noon or 1:00. ￼

Sound good? ￼

Have a happy Monday y'all.

Did I mention it's my day off?

I took me a bit but I finally caught the title of this thread. You are so clever Joe. Enjoy your day off! Will you be head hunting after your meeting? I saw your sons pic on FB, he looks so happy with his bride.

Haroula, have a happy day as well!

Venus, hope work goes well.

Sue, Gerry, Connie, have a wonderful day!

Gail, I hope you do not have to go out in the ice. I bet it looks lovely on the trees.

Sharon, are you going to have a procedure today? If so, sending positive thoughts your way.

Darlene, enjoy the rain while you have it.

I am still working on getting rid of a 5 day headache. I will walk the dogs today even though I probably should let Merlin rest. Tonight is Salsa Funk.

Gotta figure the minute a big project starts around here, where we NEVER have rain, that it will rain cats and dogs and possums and...

So the sidewalk project adjacent to my street started off with a bang and then it rained and rained. Today, an entire flotilla of trucks (yes a flotilla) arrived promptly at starting time of 7:30 am and took one look at the puddles and the now heavy rain and all drove (or floated) off. I'm assuming it's a no go for anything today, AND tomorrow, they are predicting even more and even heavier rain. We NEED rain, but it's sure strange that it only appears when there is outside construction work to be done!

Hey, maybe that's it! When it's dry and we need rain, we should plan a big outdoor project and voila! Sorta like seeding the clouds they used to try or the Indian Rain dances. Yup, gonna suggest this to the city council.

Off to the Animal Control today at 10 when they open. My tenant/friend lost the second of his litter mate cats on Saturday. The other died suddenly and quickly a few years back and this one will now be reunited with his brother. Friend came up to say, "my kitty isn't feeling well". I went down and found him almost dead on the bathroom rug. Friend never saw anything die, so I got him and kitty comfortable and petted the poor kitty and told friend what to expect. Kitty went in about 45 minutes thankfully pretty peacefully. I think it was kidney failure. He was going on 17 had major dehydration and hadn't eaten in 3 days (friend didn't really notice). Wasn't anything we could do for kitty as he was already 'down for the count' and eyes dilated, etc. He did however respond to tummy scratching (his favorite) by kneading one paw, and amazingly, he heard the clock alarm which friend set for 4 pm every day to remind him it was time for the wet food treat. He actually lifted a paw and roused just a bit. Felt bad for friend who is now catless for the first time in his life. As usual, kitty died AFTER the animal shelter was closed for the weekend. Ugh. So off we go today for the 'final' ride. Sad, but friend is now going to be satisfied with 'tormenting' all my cats (as usual). No more indoor cats for either of us. AND this will give friend a reason to clean his house of all the cat fur, litter, kitty tracks, etc. and maybe some of those many many cardboard boxes (kitty loved them). Sigh. Hate to see animals go, but at 17 it was time and it was painless. RIP black kitty (never did know his real name).

Off to see if we can do our morning walk, but it's so raining I think we will skip it.

Thanks Ana for thinking of me. Today I have to handle business that I have been avoiding.

Wednesday I have to go to the hospital to have a cardiac cath placed to do an angiogram. If the percentage of blockage is over 70 I will have a cardiac stent placed. If it is not that great I will be able to go home same day. If the stent is placed, obviously I will have to stay overnight.

This means from Tuesday midnight till after the procedure I will have to fast. Not even water. (Procedure is not till 1pm on Wednesday.) That is really hard for me.

When I am eventually medically cleared for it I will have to have a carotid stent placed.

Your good thoughts and perhaps fingers crossed may make it possible for me to return home Wednesday night.

Sharon

Edit: You're a good friend Sorta. I'm glad Black Kitty went painlessly and got to have his belly scratched at the end. Good luck with your "neighborhood watch".

ReEdit: Ana, I'm so sorry I forgot to ask about your headache. Have you tried laying down with a cold cloth on your forehead? Headaches are bad enough without having one which lasts for several days on end. Hoping you recover soon.

First of all: Ana I wish you a really speedy recovery from the 5-days headache. NOT fun at all, having a headache that won't go away.!! Shoo shoo !!!!!!!!!!! Go away you mean headache and leave Ana alone!(How's it now? )

I have (finally) completed the enrollment for the Faenza (Italy) ceramics competition 2013. Now I need you to cross your fingers for me. Problem is, you have to leave the fingers crossed until the End of January 2013. Could you do that? andthankyouverymuch!

I hope your day was a good one so far and that your afternoon and evening will be even greater.

I'am sending hugs to all of you

Ohhhhhh, just discovered Mr. Grinch Did you see the movie?

Sharon: my fingers are crossed for you and I will send good vibes! All the best!

Love!

Evelyne
